Vanity, it seems, is one of the qualities that separate us from other species; indeed, we may said to possess it in excess. Decorating body and apparel with all kinds of objects in order to look attractive goes a long way back in time; even Stone Age man knew how to make himself look smart. This very human trait has not abated over the millennia, but the perception of what looks good has changed a great deal, just like fashion, and no part of the human body has probably been of such significance in this respect as the nose. This article presents a brief review of nasal fashion.
